I have this code i am working on but every time i call init method I keep getting an error

this.addElement is not a function

is it because i can't call methods from event handlers ?

function editor () {

    this.init = function () {
        $("#area").bind('click' , this.click_event );

    }

    this.addElement = function () {
        console.log("adding element");
    }

    this.click_event = function(event) {
        this.addElement();
        console.log("click event in x : "+event.data);
    }
}
